So got bored and decided I didn't like the way the strut bar looked. I decided to leave the ends natural and paint the center semi gloss black. Two cans of VHT engine paint one primer and one color a little sand paper and tape. Cost me under $20. Here you go.

Looks good man, I did my bar also but didn't like the finish when it was said and done, so I had it powder coated for a pretty fair price, then touched it up with a little bling!!

Thanks man, I really do like the finish 10 times better then my results.
The Ls3 badge may get replaced with a 1LE but not sure cause I really do like the way the badge looks, plus I will be doing 2 1LE badges on the hood, so don't want overkill!

The fuse pull is a fix for dealers or customers that put 87 octane in their car when new. If you use 93 from the beginning and do a fuse pull, you're not really gaining anything because the PCM will already be using the programs for higher octane fuel.

What i always wondered is what kind of gas do they use at the factory? If its 87 then every SS Camaro would need the fuse pull.

So to return from the dead. I was all set to order the headers but I stumbled on a killer deal for some CTS-V brakes. So I'm currently knee deep in the parts procurement process. Parts and pics should start arriving in the next week or two.

I couldn't go with out some power upgrades. I am picking up Vmax TB next week and don't mock me for this but I'm going to try the Vararam Power Wedge... lol

My plan is to do headers plus the current mods. ADM Race intake, Ported TB, Wedge thingie, then I'll get it tuned by either Tampa Tuning or Jeremy Formato. I'll run it like that until late next year when the heads/cam/possibly intake/new tune happen .

I'll do suspension mods between the upcoming tune and the Cam and stuff.

So I'm still procuring parts. I have some ZL1 rotors I'm getting from a member here and the calipers will get Powder Coated with a new logo. I'm hoping to do a silver close to the interior silver trim color. The logo's will be like this...

1LE
brembo

In the same location and font as the ZL1 calipers. Looking to have Mike the Powder Coater do them. I'm also going to at MINIMUM do the RB performance brake seals but I'm leaning heavily towards doing the piston kits. If it all works out I will have it all buttoned up and on the car by the end of September.
